Life After Death: Islam Muslims believe in the resurrection of the body. Akhirah: Life after death al’Jannah: Heaven Jahannam: Hell They believe that when people die, they stay in the grave until the Last Day when God will bring the world to an end. Then everyone will be raised with resurrected bodies for a final judgement. God will judge people on whether they have been good or bad Muslims; the good will go to al’Jannah (heaven) for ever; the bad will go to Jahannam (hell) for ever. • This belief makes Muslims aware that everything they do is known to God and will be used by God to decide whether to send them to heaven or hell. Therefore their behaviour is affected by their beliefs about life after death.
